Talked about peer review today for 25 min with a student who, by his own account, had little chance to pick up such social skills. Laid out where he had overstepped, formulas to ease communication, his talents, next steps. Tough convo; ended with friendly chatting.
I did good work today. #teacher

So this was a fun wedding reception.

Was going to do a spot of writing/editing, but nope--the words aren't there tonight.
Back to grading essays...

Discussed the end of Daisy Miller today, and more kids said they enjoyed the story than not.
I feel like Henry James running over a 50% approval rating with high school sophomores is pretty solid.

Just warm enough this morning to enjoy my toast, coffee, and historical horror anthology from @coyhall.bsky.social in the autumn air.

Breathing autumn air, sipping coffee with toast, writing.
Good morning, all

Finished drafting a novel chapter. One to go, maybe 3,000 more words.
And now, back to grading and report cards.

About to watch my wife play the role of a sleazy, criminal aunt, and very excited.
Here's to community theatre.

Six more essays to grade in this stack.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends.

It is dress like a teacher day at school.
My child is wearing my tweed.

Touched my eye after dicing a jalapeno. How's your Monday going?

Writing on this early autumn morning after a too long layoff. Hoping to dash off the last 700 or so words of this chapter draft before other duties call.
Good morning, all.

Teaching duties are occupying most of my time these days, but I'm still pecking at the novel. Two hundred words here, a hundred there.

Two mornings to go of my writing on the deck routine, and then back to school.

Mini golf with the fam.
Wishing a good Labor Day weekend to all who would celebrate labor.

Have to kill some time, editing in a Panera. The store next door called Wild Birds Unlimited has set up a few bird feeders across the road outside the window. Red-winged blackbirds fly to and from the nearby cattails in a steady stream.

For the first two decades of my teaching career, I overlooked an important step in preparing for a new year, but today I got my back-to-school massage.

Writing on my porch in a long sleeve shirt. Fall seems to have come before the start of school this year. No complaints.

Had the opportunity to tour this place with my fam yesterday. It's as beautiful and impressive as its reputation.
